Thanks for posting the DL&W folder -- it is a very interesting subject which
is often left out of the descriptions of the situation of railroads during
World War I.
The Erie used the flu epidemic as a ploy to try to permanently discontinue
some passenger service. At least in NJ, the PUC ruled against the plan.
